Post Arab-Israeli War, 1949: Palestinians frequently crossed into Israel. Why? ๐ To retrieve properties they'd lost.
Tension Rises: Some Palestinians took it a step further with armed raids, sometimes ending in bloodshed against the new Jewish inhabitants.
Israel's Reaction: The Israeli Defence Force (IDF) was not one to sit idle - they retaliated, and fiercely.
Real-world Example: It's like when two siblings fight over a toy. One might take the toy, and the other retaliates by taking it back or maybe even breaking it!
Introducing... Fatah: A new group of Palestinian fighters. The name is a fun linguistic trick! In Arabic, it spells out the initials for ‘The Movement for the Liberation of Palestine’, but also means 'victory' when spelled backwards.
Leader of the Pack: The man at the helm? Yasser Arafat. His dream? A Palestinian state.
A Big Gathering: Arab leaders met in Cairo and established the PLO.
Mission Statement: Unite all Palestinians and reclaim their land.
Who’s the Big Player in PLO? It's our friend, Fatah!
Real-world Example: Think of the PLO as an Avengers-like team, with Fatah being Iron Man - a key member with its own story.
